Opened by National Amusements in Summer of 2001, the Bridge Cinema de lux is a top notch cinema.
It was taken over by Rave Motion Pictures in December 2009, and renamed Rave 18.

Movie Tickets is now displaying the theatre as Rave 18. Also, Rave has put out their first official LA Times ad branding the theatre as Rave 18. I suspect the in theatre signage has already been changed as well. I’ll verify sometime this weekend.
Exterior signage is up. Saw it today while zipping down the 405. It’s a very loud orange all lower case signage that reads “rave motion pictures”. I was not impressed…makes the theatre look cheap!
Is it in the same font as the old “the bridge” signage? Because that’s what Bridge Philly has now… except they forgot the “motion pictures” part and just put “rave” in there!
Font is different than National Amusements' font for The Bridge. It looked like a bunch of puffy lower case orange lettering.
I went here on Saturday 7/17. The NA to Rave transformation is complete…or so I think.
The decor is exactly the same. The LED flat screens that direct folks to their auditoriums and the credit card kiosks have been Rave-ified. 12 Lounge (the restaurant/bar) has been renamed CRAVE and the menu has been tweaked. Concessioh stands switched from Pepsi to Coke. The IMAX auditorium looks exactly the same…but the opening spiel welcoming folks to the theatre was…WEIRD:
“Hello and welcome to the IMAX Theatre In West Los Angeles for this evening’s presentation of INCEPTION!”
IMAX THEATRE IN WEST LOS ANGELES? WTH??? No mention of Rave. Just absolutely bland. Makes me wonder if Rave’s planning to rename this theatre after all.
Ever since the Rave takeover, the overall quality of this place (customer service, cleanliness, presentation) has NOSEDIVED! At this point in time, I only come here for IMAX movies. Nothing else.
Someone at Rave must have read my last few comments. Because they have improved on their cleanliness and customer service. In addition, they now properly name themselves in their pre-IMAX spiel to the audience.
The decor’s changed too. All the neon green is gone. An orange/burnt orange/brown color scheme is now it its place. The 3rd floor bar/restaurant is now named “Rave Burger Bar” – although they only have 1 burger (!!!) on their menu. Even with all the updates and improvements, I still only come for IMAX. Blame it on the $2 parking…
Still going strong after ten years.
18 screens what’s to RAVE about, give me a old downtown theatre anyday.WITH ONE SCREEN.
We get it already. You don’t like multiplexes.
